We produce high quality kits for scale steam
launches. All the models are designed for full radio control and can be
purchased with or without steam plants. These models have a full
complement of brass fittings and period detail. They are hard working
powerful
models, that have also won prizes for best
model, speed and endurance events at international shows in Europe and the
USA. The models are suitable for modellers
with some experience. The steam plant is supplied complete and tested, all
the pipe work is pre-bent and the connections made. We know that builders
will have many hours of pleasure both building and operating our model
steam launches.

As a modelmaker of many years standing I
know the difficulty in trying to obtain high quality fitting and those
impossible to find fixings, so I have put together a fine assortment of
fixtures and fittings for other discerning model makers. The vast majority
are non-ferrous, being either brass, copper, or bronze, with a few ferrous
fittings in our ranges. We also carry a fine range of wood fittings of the
highest quality at competitive prices. Many are sourced from the finest
engineers within Europe, the vast majority being specialists in their own
fields. We also have a vast range of filament bulbs, in various colours
and voltages, along with specialist bulbs not normally available in other
outlets including what is claimed to be the smallest axial bulb available
at only 0.7mm in dia.

Our
range includes fittings for period ship builders such as wonderful brass
cannon, mortar, and culverine barrels, belaying pins, hollow wood
barrels, brass brads of the highest quality and ultra fine chemically
blackened chains. You will also find what we believe to be the finest
rigging cords and hawser cables currently available, based on our customer
feedback, all at very realistic prices.

Established
in 2005, Nautical Marine Models manufacture model boat kits, fittings and
scale armaments for the model boat building community. Having started out
producing model boat fittings, in 2007, we created (and launched) our

success of sales with the PT 109 kit, we have since moved onto producing
scale armaments that are still very popular today. Our current range of
scale armaments include: Bofors guns, depth chargers, torpedoes etc. We
also produce various fittings to accommodate the continuing growth of the
Vosper Perkasa P150. Our own Vosper Perkasa P150 kit was released in July
2009 and reviewed by David Abbott in the September 2009 issue of Model
Boats Magazine who later went on to also build and review our 1:24th scale
kit Dark Biter P1104. All of our fittings and kits are designed and
manufactured at our workshop in Lancashire, UK. They are made from a
collection of high quality resin, white metal and brass.
